I did not believe you, but I removed the grease I had gooped on and replaced it with silicon. Door opens like a charm now. Thank you.

Ah, I didn't realize the difference between grease and lubricant clearly. '12 Honda Pilot passenger door sounds like a haunted house and I put lithium grease on it, of course. I even have a bottle of silicone lubricant right next to the lithium grease (purchased for bike chains)! Off now to clean it and inspect bushings. :)

great video! I am curious if there's any official figure in the industry about the vertical weight a car door can bear, and dynamic stress, say if a weight on it is bouncing up and down, or, dropping on it. I've seen several Volvo and Audi seller jump onto their doors to show how strong the doors are, like their hinges are built more strongly. If you have any comment i'd like to know. If one accidentally swing open a door and let it fly, will that damage the hinge? the body anchor panel?

My older Ford Ranger had a sagging door due to a worn hinge. I just replaced the hinge and the door is bent from the compensated sagging position. It's hard to bend anything on it now, going to take it to a mechanic to see if they have any tricks.

It seems that one of the keys to door sagging are the door hinge pin BUSHINGS, their placement and maintenance. I believe they are copper or brass. with the pressure and weight stress opening and closing are their better metals or alloys that can be used?

Hinge bushing kits are brass and quickly deform (smoosh). Do you sell extra wide bushings made of a harder material?

I would rate door hinge pin replacement as advanced do it yourself mechanics. The doors are heavy and it's a tricky balancing act...while wrenching, yikes! I know from experience, on my '99 Tahoe, I replaced the door hinge pins and bushings (a kit) twice! First time the mechanic did it as a side job and it only lasted a little over a year. Second time I went to a local auto repair with a great reputation but also high labor prices. They did a much better job but said the door hinges might need doing, some day or year/s down the road. They also if the first guy did a better/correct job there wouldn't be compounding issues with the door sagging. And the price of actual door hinge replacement was astronomical (well over %$1k each side or some such huge cost)...they warned be careful and try to make the second pin kit last. I hit a deer and the truck was junked. Now my '99 GMC pick up is doing the door sagging, arg! I'll probably bring it to licensed commercial shop, pay the extra and get them done right and tight. I'll inspect what you pointed out in your informative well made yt video, for sure...helps to know what's involved before paying for costly reputable labor. In my Tahoe, the interior door handle n cable got too stretched out, then the handle broke, so I would roll down the window and open door within exterior handle, over time the window started failing (from over use) so now my window needed a fix., lol, such hassle/dangerous when you cannot open the door from the inside. I waited too long, it was truly great when I finally fixed the sagging door issue' and also new issues! My advice,,,,fix those sagging doors, it's worth it and safer than a stuck door. But hire a pro if you are not advanced imho. Good luck and thank you for the video!

I’m not sold on using the silicone spray instead of lithium grease spray. I’ve looked at new cars have a clear grease from the factory. Any dirt the grease attracts shouldn’t be much of a problem. Grease will last longer in my opinion. People really need to occasionally grease those hinges especially the over used drivers door!
